Yeah, I know it's great. Right now i'm using this old 2GB AMD card I got from work to tie me over. I probably won't be able to buy the 1070 on launch day, as like the 1080 everyone sweeps in like locusts to buy them up, they sell out within 10 minutes and all you're left with are lengthy pre-orders. So perhaps at the end of June i'll pick one up.

ok m8s- The Radeon RX 480 is being promoted as being competitive with $500 current generation cards like the GTX 980 and R9 390X. There's 4 or 8GB of GDDR5 memory, 150 Watt TDP, AMD FreeSync, premium VR support, 36 compute units, and 256GB/s of memory bandwidth. The RX 480 is said to have 1.7x performance/Watt improvement.

UPDATE: I support AMD. 100%. Day 1 FOSS driver support and good (enough) muscle make this king baby./r/pcmasturbates needs to grow up and realize they didn't make this card for them, they made it for FOSS enthusiasts on the cheap like me.
